When Life Gives Me Lemons

It has been quite a long time since the last time I updated my blog,
I am more preferred to share my opinions and stories in Facebook lately.

So, are you familiar with "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."?
What's this all about?
In my opinion, "When life gives you lemons" is referring to the sourness of life,
"make lemonade" means you are turning the sourness of life into something sweet and nice.

It suddenly hit me when I ponder on this just now,
I might say, "when life gives me lemons, I'll make lemonade."
But instead of lemonade, I'm thinking of something even greater.

"When life gives me lemons, I'll grow lemon trees."

Lemon tree

Most of the time, we'll just follow what others do, when others make lemonade, we make it too.
We are afraid to do other things with those "lemons".
My point is, this life is so interesting when you have dreams, be it big or small.
When life gives you something, creatively respond to it, you might make some history for the next generations.
I've so many dreams in life, I believe you too are the same.

Now, what are you going to do with those "lemons"?
For me,
When life gives me lemons, I'll grow lemon trees.

The Ant and The Grasshopper

One day, a teacher tells this story to his class, “Once upon a time there is an ant live in a beautiful forest. The ant is a very hardworking; it works so hard to find foods. Winter is coming soon and ant worked extra hard to gather the food stocks for the coming season. Not far from ant’s nest, there live a grasshopper, it plays and really enjoys its life, grasshopper doesn’t really bother to work and gather food stock for the coming winter. Ant is a caring neighbour, it always drop by and ask grasshopper to join it in gathering food, but grasshopper always gives many excuses and refuse to join ant, it enjoys its life and always tease ant for working so hard to find food. “It’s still long way to go ant, why don’t you sit with me and enjoy life?” the grasshopper offer the ant to join it. “Winter is very near, if I don’t work extra hard now, the food will not be enough for me to survive during the season.” Ant replies. “Ha ha, okay then, it’s up to you.” The grasshopper conti

House of Fellowship’s Singai Camp 2011

Mount Singai is a wonderful place for devotion, I never dream of having a camp here with my cell group members.   Our cell group had a camp on Mount Singai on the 30 th of September to 2 nd October 2011, the theme is “We are chosen”. The cell group today is known as House of Fellowship, we started it in year 2009 with members of 9. When I first come to UNIMAS, I wish I could participate in the Christian Fellowship here in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. I was approached by senior that brings us to join local church, it was exciting for me, and I let the Lord lead my way. Then, I think about other students that are not from the same denominations, who would care for them? We don’t have student’s Christian fellowship here for us to support each other. As time goes by, I continue to pray that the Lord will make a way to bring revival to this place. I found few friends that have the same desire, to gather and to fellowship with each other. Praise God, we have place an

Bergantung pada Tuhan

Yohanes 15:1-8, Tanpa Aku, kamu tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa. Seringkali di dalam hidup, apa yang kita tempuhi selalunya agak sukar dan membuatkan kita ingin sahaja putus asa, tetapi kita terlupa akan ayat ini. Kita terlupa untuk berseru pada-Nya dan bergantung pada kekuatan Dia! Marilah kita berseru kepada Yesus Kristus Tuhan kita! Dengan kekuatan-Nya, kita tempuhi halangan dan dugaan yang melanda! Halleluya!
